Tautoko Enterprise Support Limited is a New Zealand-based consortium of professionals offering advice and support to Maori and other indigenous businesses and organisations. The consortium was designed specifically as a way to bring together business advisors, mentors and sector specialists with a common interest in fostering and developing Maori commercial interests. Since its inception in 2003, this kaupapa has been extended to supporting other indigenous peoples around the Asia-Pacific region.
Consortium members come from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences but have (at least!) one thing in common: a desire to see Maori and other indigenous business people prosper. We have a proven delivery model that works particularly well in the area of capability building and business mentoring. The core principle of this model is collaboration or kotahitanga, using a consortium as a vehicle to bring together people and resources on a fit-for-purpose basis. This means it is your needs rather than our skills that drive our approach.
Tautoko Enterprise Support Limited comprises advisors and mentors with generic business skills (across planning, marketing, financial management, HR and operational management) and sector specialists (tourism, hospitality, arts and creative, primary sector and customary land whenua development). If we can't provide you with the services and resources you need, chances are we know who can.
